Box Card Christmas Truck Tutorial with Brigit

Here’s a tutorial of putting together this adorable Box Card Christmas Truck from Lori’s shop. I used Cricut Design Space and my Cricut Maker to cut this out but you can also get this file here at the  Silhouette Design Store.

Here’s my finished truck, I added some snow to the tree and a Santa from Doodlebug’s Christmas Town mini icon sticker sheet. The patterned paper is Doodlebug’s ladybug and limeade dot-stripe petite prints.

I uploaded the truck into Design Space and ungrouped.

Selecting the truck piece with score lines I clicked the Attach button on the bottom right, this keeps the score lines and cut piece together when you cut. I did the same to the other piece with the score lines.

Select the JOY and Flatten, do the same to the Farm Fresh Christmas Trees sign, this is so you can print and then cut.

This is how the print and cut will look, you print this page out, place it on your mat and the machine will scan the black box and cut around each one.

Here are all the pieces cut out, I folded the scoreline pieces and inked the edges of the patterned pieces.

I put together the tree on the middle section first then glued and assembled the main truck piece. Then glued the middle piece flaps to the inside of the main truck. If you want you can use solid cardstock for these pieces to save on patterned paper since the pieces in the next steps below will cover both sides.

I glued down the door first, then the silver running board, the tires on top of that and last pop dotted the fenders. Next, I glued each finished side to the truck base. Last I added the Joy to the back and the lights to the front.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Christmas with my Gnomies Set by Anita

 

Anita here today to share an adorable gift set that I made for a dear friend who happens to love gnomes.  Lori Whitlock has several different cards which you can customize to make adorable cards and gifts.  This card is a box card ( you can find a tutorial here ) and the cut file is called 5X7 Box Card Gnome and you can find it here in Lori’s shop and here in the Silhouette store.  I used one of Lori’s wonderful new Echo Park collections called Celebrate Christmas.  The Notebook is from her Celebrate Christmas line also, and is called Lined Inserts.  My friend was thrilled to receive this gift.

Here is the card open and standing up.

Here is a close up of the notebook.

Lastly this is a photo of the card folded flat and ready for mailing.  That’s it for me today.  Happy Holidays everyone.

Hugs,

Anita

Snowman Box with Corri

HI everyone!  Corri here today sharing a cute box that’s perfect for getting your Christmas gifts ready.  I’m finishing up the last of my shopping this week and thought this adorable gift bag would be great for packing up gift cards for my kids’ teachers.

I cut the Merry Christmas Box (Silhouette, SVG) from a pretty pattern paper from the Echo Park – Celebrate Christmas Collection and then added some chipboard accents.
